November 2018

 The seminar The Urge, The Echo: Reverberations of Learning Practices is happening at Index soon. The starting points for the seminar are the topics and critical questions that have arisen during Index’ three year learning project entitled Index Residents and Teen Advisory Board. The seminar mixes theory and practice, drawing on the proposal from Donna Haraway to ‘think-with’ each other and contemporary practice. The roundtable seminar aims to understand how pedagogy and learning practices intersect with naming (and unnaming) and in the relaying of realities. Registrations are now closed, however contact curator Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris for further information.

 Index is happy to announce a sneak peak of the first three exhibitions of 2019. Between January and July three solo exhibitions will take place at Index with artists Mette Edvardsen, Roxy Farhat and Chris Kraus. The exhibition at Index, Mette Edvardsen: Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine, will open on Jan 25, 2019. Starting from an idea in the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Mette Edvardsen (Norway) organises a group of people to become a performed library. Each person memorises an entire book that is “readed” to other people.

 Index Residents continue to work with the exhibition And Tomorrow And with group visits most days of the exhibition. With each new visit the future formulations are multiplied and young people’s vision of the future are entering the blue tinted space of And Tomorrow And. The Residents attempt to question the reproduction and repetition of images that deal with futures. After writing, reading and performing a collective manifesto the group re-arranges the show to offer a new kind of reading of the room and proposition of tomorrows. Index Residents are also building film works and curating collections in ongoing collaborations with Uppsala Konstmuseum, Råmaterial and UnCUT young filmproduction.

Final weeks: AND TOMORROW AND
Until Sun 25 Nov, 2018
And Tomorrow And continues at Index, and presents a demanding cacophony of voices questioning our collective futures. Ecological disaster, inter-species collaboration, cyborgian manifestations – from these new and altered states, artists consider differing formulations of what tomorrow brings. Drawing on the legacy of the artistic manifesto as a means of making demands, the exhibition works closely with local emerging artists from the Index learning program presented alongside a film program from internationally established artists. The exhibition continually develops during the three-month period, with an accumulation and archive of text-based curtains and an extensive public program. And Tomorrow And is an attempt to understand the role of artists in proposing distinctive and liveable futures and to act as a counter point to the dominant ideals of the so-called Anthropocene.
